CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/092,120, filed on Apr. 6, 2016, which claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0109569, filed on Aug. 3, 2015, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the contents of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

The present disclosure relates to an organometallic compound and an organic light-emitting device including the organometallic compound.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, and short response times. In addition, the OLEDs exhibit excellent luminance, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and produce full-color images.

A typical organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer that is disposed between the anode and the cathode and includes an emission layer. A hole transport region may be disposed between the anode and the emission layer, and an electron transport region may be disposed between the emission layer and the cathode. Holes provided from the anode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the cathode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. The holes and the electrons are recombined in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons change from an excited state to a ground state to thereby generate light.

Different types of organic light emitting devices are known. However, there still remains a need in OLEDs having low driving voltage, high efficiency, high brightness, and long lifespan.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the exemplary embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:

FIG. Illustrates a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present exemplary embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the exemplary embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly in contact with the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present.

It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or section from another element, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the present embodiments.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

The term “or” means “and/or.” It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” or “includes” and/or “including” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this general inventive concept belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

“About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, 5% of the stated value.

Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and/or nonlinear features. Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

An organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be one of Compounds 1 to 109, but embodiments are not limited thereto:

A ligand L₁ of an organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be selected from a ligand represented by Formula 2A and a ligand represented by Formula 2B. Thus, an organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may have am improved charge mobility within a ligand to thus have an excellent luminous efficiency, which is confirmed by, for example, data of luminous efficiency that will be described later in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1.

In some embodiments, a ligand L₂ in an organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be selected from a ligand represented by Formula 2C. Thus, strain energy in a molecule of an organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 is reduced, and the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be structurally stable, and thus, an electric device adopting the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1, for example, an organic light-emitting device, may have excellent durability.

For example, energy levels of HOMO, LUMO, singlet S₁ and triplet T₁ with respect to some compounds among the organometallic compounds are evaluated by using a design for testability (DFT) method of a Gaussian program (a structure is optimized at a level of B3LYP and 6-31G(d,p)) and the results thereof are provided in Table 1 below.

Table 1 shows that the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may have electric characteristics suitable for use as a dopant of an electric device, for example, an organic light-emitting device.

A method of synthesizing an organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art with reference to Synthesis Examples below.

In this regard, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be suitable for use as a dopant of an organic layer of an organic light-emitting device, for example, an emission layer in the organic layer, and according to another aspect, the organic light-emitting device may include:

a first electrode;

a second electrode; and

an organic layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode,

wherein the organic layer includes the emission layer and at least one organometallic compound represented by Formula 1.

The organic light-emitting device includes the organic layer including the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1, thereby having low driving voltage, high efficiency, high power, high quantum efficiency, long lifespan, and excellent color purity.

The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be used in a pair of electrodes in an organic light-emitting device. For example, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be included in the emission layer. Here, the organometallic compound may serve as a dopant, and the emission layer may further include a host. (In other words, the amount of an organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 is less than the amount of the host).

The expression as used herein “(an organic layer) includes at least one organometallic compound” may be understood as “(organic layer) may include one organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 or two or more different organometallic compounds represented by Formula 1”.

For example, the organic layer may include only Compound 1 as the organometallic compound. In this regard, Compound 1 may be included in the emission layer of the organic light-emitting device. Alternatively, the organic layer may include Compound 1 and Compound 2 as the organometallic compounds. In this regard, Compound 1 and Compound 2 may be included in the same layer (for example, both Compound 1 and Compound 2 may be included in the emission layer).

The first electrode may be an anode, which is a hole injection electrode, and the second electrode may be a cathode, which is an electron injection electrode. Alternatively, the first electrode may be a cathode, which is an electron injection electrode, and the second electrode may be an anode, which is a hole injection electrode.

For example, the first electrode may be an anode, the second electrode may be a cathode, and the organic layer may include:

i) a hole transport region disposed between the first electrode and the emission layer, wherein the hole-transport region may include at least one selected from a hole injection layer, a hole-transport layer, and an electron blocking layer; and

ii) an electron transport region disposed between the emission layer and the second electrode, wherein the electron transport region may include at least one selected from a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer.

As used herein, the term the “organic layer” refers to a single and/or a plurality of layers disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode in an organic light-emitting device. The “organic layer” may include not only organic compounds but also organometallic complexes including metals.

FIG. is a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment of the present inventive concept. Hereinafter, a structure and a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting device, according to an embodiment of the present inventive concept, will be described with reference to FIGURE. The organic light-emitting device 10 includes a first electrode 11, an organic layer 15, and a second electrode 19, which are sequentially layered in the stated order.

A substrate may be additionally disposed under the first electrode 11 or on the second electrode 19. The substrate may be a conventional substrate that is used in an organic light-emitting device, such as glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate, each having excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water repellency.

The first electrode 11 may be formed by vacuum-depositing or sputtering a material for forming a first electrode on the substrate. The first electrode 11 may be an anode. The material for the first electrode 11 may be selected from materials with a high work function for easy hole injection. The first electrode 11 may be a reflective electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode, or a transmissive electrode. The material for the first electrode 11 may be selected from indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO₂), and zinc oxide (ZnO). Alternatively, a metal such as magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), and magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag) may be used.

The first electrode 11 may have a single layer structure or a multi-layer structure including a plurality of layers. For example, the first electrode 11 may have a triple-layer structure of ITO/Ag/ITO, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

The organic layer 15 is disposed on the first electrode 11.

The organic layer 15 may include a hole transport region, an emission layer, and an electron transport region.

The hole transport region may be disposed between the first electrode 11 and the emission layer.

The hole transport region may include at least one selected from a hole injection layer, hole transport layer, electron blocking layer, and buffer layer.

The hole transport region may only include a hole injection layer or a hole transport layer.
